Since Valentine's Day is actually on most calendars, I suppose I have to recognize its existence. While I'm not too keen on the premise, I do love hearts and the color pink is growing on me (not literally...last time I checked). Those things being said, I give you pink and red heart-shaped meringues.

*I streaked the pastry bag with red and pink gels.
*I used only vanilla extract, though I'm thinking something like a hint of Kahlua might be delicious and appropriate.
*Instead of just making meringue blobs (or, in some cases, walnuts), I made hearts.

Pretty festive, right? Especially for someone who tries to ignore the annual flowers-and-chocolate fest known as V-Day.

How adorable are those?!! Meringues don't hold up well in Florida, or I'd be all over this recipe. You have to eat them immediately. Even an hour wait, they lose their crispness. :((And....your blog name is just as cute as Noble Pig. So appropriate. I aped the way Cathy set her header up when I did mine. She does have great recipes.)
